If My Sophomore Year Of College Taught Me Anything, It Was To Embrace The Unknown

Although my sophomore year was a pretty good overall, I have begun to face a lot of unknowns, as the year comes to an end.

A lot has happened during my sophomore year of college. I was very active in my community group and ministries that I was involved with. I grew closer to my group of friends and have made amazing memories with them, and I have grown so much in my faith in God. Although my sophomore year was a pretty good overall, I have begun to face a lot of unknowns, as the year comes to an end.

I am going to school to be an elementary school teacher, and in order to get into that program, I have to pass the GKT. I have taken the test a couple of times and still have not attained the scores I need. Recently, I have started to question if this is what God wants me to be doing with my life. I know that I am so passionate about kids, and helping them grow and learn. I don't know if me not passing right away is just a bump in the road, or something more than that.

Lately, I have been filled with so much confusion and conflicting thoughts about what I am supposed to be doing. I know that God already has my whole life planned out, and He knows when and if I am going to ever pass this test. I am hopeful that one day I will be able to succeed in it and continue to chase my dreams of becoming a teacher. I have been doing some serious praying and just asking God to lead me into what I am supposed to be doing. It is scary to not know what the future holds, but it all fizzles down to just trusting God. Although trusting God with the unknowns of our life is hard, it's the best thing we can do when stuff like this shows up.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
